The "Tater" also says "if you come to Texas and kill someone we will kill you back.That's our policy!"

Hooooo-AHHHHHH! Dance with the Devil you murdering son of a bitch. You can have the IQ of a turnip and still take a needle. If you're smart (or dumb) enough to kill in Texas... WE WILL put you down like the dog you are.

Rot in HELL! Too bad your lawyers couldn't join you.
